Can someone please explain the following to me-Side Lighting-Bottom Lighting-Front LightingIf you get your info from websites can you please include themThank You
They're pretty self explanatory. Side lighting is from either side. If you want full exposure, you'll put it on both side, and it will create cross shadows. Bottom lighting isn't really used frequently, but it's generally used from a distance, if anything. It creates a deeper shadow behind someone or in front of them, depending on where they place it. Front lighting is used primarily for exposing the features of whatever it is that it's highlighting. It creates better highlights and deeper back shadows. You should also look into Key and Fill lighting as well. Key is the primary source of lighting. It's the main light used for lighting the object. Fill does just that. It fills in whatever shadows aren't needed and is sometimes hard to place. Hope that helps!
